Bell & Associates, P.C., with more than three decades of litigation and trial experience in some of the country's most powerful and influential courts. Put yourself in the best position for success by hiring a law firm dedicated to providing exceptional legal counsel and advocacy to our clients.

While our practice covers a wide range of legal matters including criminal law, personal injury and business litigation, we focus much of our effort on divorce and family law issues. From our offices in Libertyville, we provide our clients with representation in courts throughout Lake County, the Chicago metro and other communities in Northern Illinois.

Is the Time for Talk Over? Attorney Ronald L. Bell Delivers Results. The family law practice at our firm is geared toward getting results. If you find yourself in a situation that requires a lawyer who will put in the work necessary to get the job done, Ron Bell is the attorney you need to call. He will listen to your story, develop a plan of action, then go out and execute that strategy in court.

Some of the services we offer in the area of family law include:

Divorce and post-divorce modifications: Our credo here is simple: we set out to deliver the results that you want. We will doggedly pursue your goals, meticulously plan your case and deliver an end product whenever possible. Litigation is our specialty, so when the going gets tough, rely on a law firm with three decades of experience representing clients in divorce cases in courts around the state.

Child custody, support orders and modifications: In the complex and daunting world of state courts, we not only know the game, we know the players. These relationships with other legal professionals, some of whom attorney Bell has worked with since his days as an Assistant Attorney General, are invaluable in securing resolutions to your family law issue that are both timely and effective. When you need a modification to a custody or support order that needs to be done right and done right now, we are the only call you will need to make.

Division of property, investments and businesses in divorce: These are complicated cases that require a deep understanding of the law as well as a meticulous attention to detail in the fact finding phase. In a divorce where there are substantial assets at stake, you want an attorney who knows how to orchestrate all of the moving parts in a full-scale financial investigation, including outside experts and auditors, and then litigate the issues successfully in court. Attorney Bell has been doing just that for clients like you for decades.

Providing injury victims with the kind of representation needed to prevail against insurance companies who do not want to pay out is what we do. We have put in the years required to make our name a byword for “settlement” among the insurance companies, but that will not stop us from fighting for you in court if the offer is unfair. We are in the business of providing results for our clients, not making a quick buck at their expense.

In addition to family law and personal injury, we represent clients in cases involving:

Since 1980, our firm’s founder and lead attorney Ronald Bell has guided clients through the litigation process, from initial investigations and claims to pretrial steps, trial and appeals. Our litigation experience includes court trials, jury trials and appeals in state and federal courts, including the Illinois Court of Appeals, the Illinois Supreme Court, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.

Throughout our years of practice in these courts, our reputation has earned us respect from other professionals. The Honorable Terrence Brady was a trial judge in the 19th Judicial Circuit in Lake County from 1977 to 2005. He said of attorney Ronald Bell:

“During that time, Mr. Bell appeared before me in complex litigation cases, including complicated jury trials. Mr. Bell was always prepared, thorough and persevering in his advocacy. I consider him an intelligent, competent and diligent lawyer.”

Serving Lake County, Chicago and the Rest of Northern Illinois Since 1980

“Glad Ron was on my side…”

“Glad Ron Was on My Side – As with most divorces I suspect things get tense and a bit confusing going through the process. But Ronald was there with me every step of the way when I needed him. He and his highly trained staff are easy to work with, really know their business. This made a very difficult situation much easier and understandable. Thank goodness he was on my side and not on the other side. I would highly recommend Ronald and his team should someone require their services.” ~ John, Lake County IL
